Michael Noonan (Limerick East, Fine Gael)

The flipping of property in the fashionable pubs of Dublin after work on Friday will not happen again. The bubble cannot be re-inflated and the Government policy designed to restore lost times cannot succeed. We need a new Ireland, a lean and more generous Ireland, where we support strong families and strong communities, where volunteerism is again honoured, and where people work hard and are rewarded for their work.
